Psoriasis Acne
Rosacea or Psorisis, what do you think I have?
I am a 52 year old male. I have had various doctors go back and forth as to whether or not I had rosacea or Psoriasis or even Lupus. (Lupus has been ruled out via several blood tests.
My symptoms include redness in a bit of a butterfly shap across the nose and forehead, but also if I do not use my medicine, Metronidazole, I get flaking of the skin as bad as any sunburn I have ever had. There is no pain or other sensation. There is nothing that even comes close to looking like acne.
Can you tell me a sure-fire way to know what I have?
Please tell me what you believe I have and the reason you think it. Thank you.
they're 2 completely different things..and your doctor should know. rosacea does not cause flaking of the skin. it is an inflammation of the capillaries (usually caused by synthetic products, too much hot and spicy food or too much acid/bacteria in the stomach) psoriasis is when your body cannot absorb and properly digest fatty acids causing your skin to shed too quick and flake. sometimes theres redness...BUT both are usually the result of too much bacteria (candida) in yor system and BOTH are usually present in you, since your childhood or birth...check into that. what you can do in the meantime to reduce the redness is look for soothing products like laveder oil/chamomile tea (applied directly and drinken) or calendual cream.
The Heartbreak of Psoriasis
There are six different types of psoriasis, and none of them are pleasant. They are:
Psoriatic Arthritis: The inflammation of joints
Plaque Psoriasis: The most common, with symptoms of red raised areas and white flakes
Guttate Psoriasis: Small red spots on the skin
Pustular Psoriasis: White pustules surrounded by red skin
Inverse Psoriasis: Smooth red liaisons in the skin's fold
Erythrodermic Psoriasis: Widespread, with severe itching, pain and red abrasions
There are lots of theories about the cause of psoriasis. Some believe that psoriasis is a hereditary problem that is passed along through DNA. Others believe that psoriasis is caused by a portion of the immune system becoming overactive. Still others think it is an autoimmune disease. Some think that a psoriasis outbreak is triggered by stress. Most agree that those with exceptionally high IQs are much more likely to be afflicted with psoriasis. Benjamin Franklin suffered from psoriasis, and so did Albert Einstein.
At the present time there is no known cure for psoriasis, but the good news is that it isn't fatal. It is irritating, and it can be embarrassing, but it isn't fatal; and there are treatments for psoriasis that can help to put it into remission. People have had periods of remission that last from weeks to months to years.
The best advice about living with psoriasis as comfortably as possible is to follow your doctor's advice and directions to the letter and do NOT scratch the itchy places. When you scratch, you are helping to spread the outbreak to surrounding tissue. You can also break the skin and cause an infection to develop. So don't scratch and apply your meds as directed.
